Chapter 90 Gossipy Live Room


    Julian turned around and stormed away.


    Susan looked at his back with a bewildered expression. She had a hunch that Julian was angry.


    Was it because she mentioned Luke? But she would not mention anything about Luke if he did not


    ask.


    "What a petty man,” Susan mumbled.

    The Jenkins Mansion.


    "Mom, are we really going to let that persone out and clear Susan Shelby''s name?” Charlotte


    said reluctantly.


    A dark expression flitted across Madam Jenkins'' face. "I have no idea what gets into Luke. I don’t


    know what is so good about that woman that Luke’s willing to go t o such an extent just to protect


    her.”


    "Maybe some women are born as seductresses," Charlotte said through gritted teeth.


    "I’ve underestimated her,” Madam Jenkins said with furrowed brows, "Let''s wait for a little longer. I


    don''t believe that your brother would actually soil the image of the Jenkins and the Shaws just


    because of a woman. Let''s y it by ear."


    By the time Madam Jenkins finished talking, Luke walked into the house.


    "I''ve seen the post," he said simply, "Mom, Charlotte, I hope you two won''t make things hard for


    Susie anymore."


    ''The post was already online?''


    Madam Jenkins and Charlotte exchanged nces, and both of them could see the perplexity in


    each other''s eyes.


    "Is anything wrong?” Luke frowned slightly.


    "Nope,” Madam Jenkins’s eyes glinted. Then, she gave Luke a smile and continued, "I’m just


    surprised that the person was rather quick."


    Luke then continued expressionlessly, "I hope you can keep your promise and stop making things


    hot for Susan. I know that you thought you were doing Madam Shaw a favor by not exposing


    Susan''s identity as Julian Shaw''s wife. In this way, not only would you not offend the Shaws, but


    you can also make Madam Shaw hate Susan even more. I have to admit that it is quite a brilliant


    move, and it would’ve worked if you were dealing with other people. However, your opponent is


    Madam Shaw. She has been a sessful businesswoman for many years, so do you really think


    that she could not see through it? Although she hates Susan right now, I guess she wouldn''t have a


    good impression of us either after knowing that we''re the ones pulling the strings."


    After that, he turned to look at Charlotte and said, "Do you think Madam Shaw will give Charlotte a


    chance even after Julian Shaw divorces Susan? Think for yourself."


    With that, he turned around and left, leaving the gobsmacked Madam Jenkins behind.


    "Mom, Luke seems to have a point. What should we do now?" Charlotte gazed anxiously at Madam


    Shaw.


    Madam Shaw''s countenance was rigid. All of her ns had been going very smoothlytely, and


    her confidence swelled up to the point that she felt she was a genius after she had sessfully


    framed Susan for Richard Jenkins’ death.


    Ever since Madam Shaw handed the Shaw Corporation to Julian, she rarely appeared before the


    public and she stayed in her mansion most of the time just like any other ordinary gentlewomen


    would do. Madam Jenkins had almost forgotten that Madam Shaw was also once the leader of the


    Shaw Corporation.


    Although the Shaw Corporation was not powerful now as it was during that time, at the absolute


    minimum, the Shaws did not go backward under her lead, and that was more than enough to prove


    her capability.


    Would a woman like her not see through their trick? Just like what Luke had said, even though she


    loathed Susan, she would not have a good impression on them either. In this way, Madam Jenkins


    was certain that Madam Shaw would not allow Charlotte to be her daughter-inw.


    "Don''t panic, Charlotte," Madam Jenkins said firmly,"


    Even if we offended the Shaws, it''ll be temporary.


    There are no eternal rivals in business since profit has the final say. As long as we propose to them


    with some profit, I''m sure it’ll be enough to quench Madam Shaw''s anger.”


    Madam Jenkins''s calm-headedness put Charlotte at ease. A grin spread across her face as she


    said, "That’s good then."


    "The most important thing right now is how we should get rid of Susan once and for all. It seems like


    whatever we’re doing is not enough, so I n to..." A dark glint shed across Madam Jenkins''


    eyes. Both o f them put their heads closer and began cooking up some evil ns again.


    Very soon, they hade up with several ns and were ready to put them into action.


    At night, the Jenkins sat around the table and had dinner together.


    "Luke, I know the food is good, but can''t you see that Mandy is eating very little today? Can you


    help her fill her bowl?" Madam Jenkins teased.


    Mandy looked at Luke with longing eyes.


    Calmly, Luke picked up a piece of fish and dropped it onto Mandy''s te.


    Mandy’s expression changed. She eximed, "Luke, this is fish. I''m allergic to seafood."


    Then, he picked up a brisket and put it on her te.


    Mandy''s smile froze and faded. She had known Luke for more than 20 years. They had been


    together for more than a year and today marked the first month of their marriage.


    Almost all of her friends knew that she was allergic to seafood, save for Luke.


    "Please don''t be mad at Luke, Mandy. He''s a little careless sometimes,” Madam Jenkins tried to


    smooth things over when she saw the dark expression on Mandy''s face.


    Mandy gritted her teeth and put up with it.


    ''Careless? Nonsense! If I were Susan, this kind of thing would never happen!''


    Mandy could not get over the fact that Luke would not spare a nce at her after she sacrificed so


    much for him.


    "I had the chef prepare a soup for you today, Mandy. I got the recipe from one of my Asian friends,”


    said Madam Jenkins as she gestured at a maid. The maid went into the kitchen and took out a bowl


    of soup for Mandy. 1


    Then, she continued, "She said that it''s good for your health, and it can condition your body so that


    you won’t feel too tired or exhausted when you''re having a baby.”


    ''Having a baby?'' Mandy stole a sidelong nce at Luke. She did not know how she should tell


    Madam Jenkins that Luke had not touched her since the first day of their marriage.


    He often dissuaded her by saying that he was too exhausted from work or he was not in the right


    mood. She was a girl, and she had her own pride. She could not bring herself to make the advance


    every single night.


    As if he did not feel Mandy''s gaze, he put down his fork and spoon and said, "I''m done. I still have


    some work left to be done, so excuse me."


    He rose to his feet and prepared to leave the table.


    Mandy''s expression changed and she tried to stop him. She said, "Wait, Luke," but to no avail.


    He continued to walk forward as if he did not hear her at all. Her face turned sour. Just when she


    was about t o get angry, Charlotte, who was watching TV while eating her dinner, switched to an


    entertainment channel.


    "Good day! Today, we have Miss Lynn Cheney with us i n the Gossipy Live Room. Maybe some of


    you are not familiar with the name, but for those who know, you guys should have noticed that Miss


    Lynn was the girl who posted the scandal on Ancient Fox several days ago," a sweet-looking


    hostess said.


    At the same time, the title of the post appeared at the bottom of the screen: "Come and Meet My


    Roommate Who is a Bloody B*tch”.


    After that, the hostess asked, "Miss Lynn, I still remember how your post caused a huge sensation


    on Ancient Fox. Butter on, you admitted that the


    content in the post was pure fiction, am I right?”


    Luke suddenly stopped in his tracks. He turned around and looked towards the television.


    Madam Jenkins and Charlotte''s expressions changed.
